xend prior to 4.0 understands vcpus as maxvcpus and vcpu_avail
as a bit map of which cpus are online (default is all).
xend from 4.0 onwards understands maxvcpus as maxvcpus and
vcpus as the number which are online (from 0..N-1). The
upstream commit (68a94cf528e6 "xm: Add maxvcpus support")
claims that if maxvcpus is omitted then the old behaviour
(i.e. obeying vcpu_avail) is retained, but AFAICT it was not,
in this case vcpu==maxcpus==online cpus. This is good for us
because handling anything else would be fiddly.
This patch changes parsing of the virDomainDef maxvcpus and vcpus
entries to use the corresponding 'maxvcpus' and 'vcpus' settings
from xm and xl config. It also drops use of the old Xen 3.x
'vcpu_avail' setting.
The change also removes the maxvcpus limit of MAX_VIRT_VCPUS (since
maxvcpus is simply a count, not a bit mask), which is particularly
crucial on ARM where MAX_VIRT_CPUS == 1 (since all guests are
expected to support vcpu placement, and therefore only the boot
vcpu's info lives in the shared info page).
Existing tests adjusted accordingly, and new tests added for the
'maxvcpus' setting.
xl and xm differ a bit in how <os> configuration is represented.
E.g. xl config supports <os><nvram .../></os> via its "bios"
setting.
Move the xenParseOS and xenFormatOS functions from xen_common.c
and copy to xen_xl.c and xen_xm.c so they can be customized for
xm vs xl config. An unfortunate fallout is reordering of entries
in the test config files.
Wrap formatting code common to xm and xl in xenFormatConfigCommon
and export it.

XenD-3.1 introduced managed domains. HV-domains have rtc_timeoffset
(hgd24f37b31030 from 2007-04-03), which tracks the offset between the
hypervisors clock and the domains RTC, and is persisted by XenD.
In combination with localtime=1 this had a bug until XenD-3.4
(hg5d701be7c37b from 2009-04-01) (I'm not 100% sure how that bug
manifests, but at least for me in TZ=Europe/Berlin I see the previous
offset relative to utc being applied to localtime again, which manifests
in an extra hour being added)
XenD implements the following variants for clock/@offset:
- PV domains don't have a RTC → 'localtime' | 'utc'
- <3.1: no managed domains → 'localtime' | 'utc'
- ≥3.1: the offset is tracked for HV → 'variable'
due to the localtime=1 bug → 'localtime' | 'utc'
- ≥3.4: the offset is tracked for HV → 'variable'
Current libvirtd still thinks XenD only implements <clock offset='utc'/>
and <clock offset='localtime'/>, which is wrong, since the semantic of
'utc' and 'localtime' specifies, that the offset will be reset on
domain-restart, while with 'variable' the offset is kept. (keeping the
offset over "virsh edit" is important, since otherwise the clock might
jump, which confuses certain guest OSs)
xendConfigVersion was last incremented to 4 by the xen-folks for
xen-3.1.0. I know of no way to reliably detect the version of XenD
(user space tools), which may be different from the version of the
hypervisor (kernel) version! Because of this only the change from
'utc'/'localtime' to 'variable' in XenD-3.1 is handled, not the buggy
behaviour of XenD-3.1 until XenD-3.4.
For backward compatibility with previous versions of libvirt Xen-HV
still accepts 'utc' and 'localtime', but they are returned as 'variable'
on the next read-back from Xend to libvirt, since this is what XenD
implements: The RTC is NOT reset back to the specified time on next
restart, but the previous offset is kept.
This behaviour can be turned off by adding the additional attribute
adjustment='reset', in which case libvirt will report an error instead
of doing the conversion. The attribute can also be used as a shortcut to
offset='variable' with basis='...'.
With these changes, it is also necessary to adjust the xen tests:
"localtime = 0" is always inserted, because otherwise on updates the
value is not changed within XenD.
adjustment='reset' is inserted for all cases, since they're all <
XEND_CONFIG_VERSION_3_1_0, only 3.1 introduced persistent
rtc_timeoffset.
Some statements change their order because code was moved around.

This patch series focuses on xendConfigVersion 2 (xm_internal) and 3
(xend_internal), but leaves out changes for xenapi drivers.
See this link for more details about vcpu_avail for xm usage.

This relies on the fact that def->maxvcpus can be at most 32 with xen.
